HyDRA molecules

Below are the selected systems featured in the HyDRA challenge. For comparison, free water has its symmetric stretching fundamental at 3657 cm-1, from where any hydrogen bond induced downshift by the organic molecule should be calculated.

Training set

The first set was generated from spectroscopists' suggestions (Phase I). The set could be used by theory groups to evaluate beforehand the accuracy of their procedures and potentially derive uncertainty estimates.
